Publisher: Sega
Released: 1987
Enduro Racer is a motorcycle driving game that's loosely based on the 1986 Arcade title of the same name.
+ Ability to earn points from skilled play and use them on upgrades (or to repair your bike) adds some strategy.
+ Successfully executing a ramp jump without losing speed is endlessly satisfying and pushes you to beat your best time.
+ Controls are excellent and being able to adjust in mid-air affords you complete precision when dodging traffic and hazards.
- Despite there being ten tracks in the Japanese version, this Western release cuts the number in half and repeats them twice.
- Considering the tracks are very short, it's disappointing that many design elements are copy/pasted in quick succession.
- Unlike Excitebike (1985, NES), there's no course editor so once you've beaten the game there's nothing to keep you playing.
